Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EM257513VO is determined by the following critical parameters that must align across candidate parts:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 13 (fixed requirement)
• Header Orientation: Vertical (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (fixed requirement)
• Termination Style: Solder (fixed requirement)
• Shroud Configuration: 2-Side or 4-Side (mechanical compatibility consideration)

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Pitch Tolerance: 0.200" (5.08mm) or 0.197" (5.00mm) - within standard manufacturing tolerance for 5mm-class terminal blocks
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 300 V UL (all substitutes meet or exceed this requirement)
• Current Rating: Minimum 12 A (EM257513VO rated 16 A UL; substitutes rated 12 A UL)
• Material Flammability: UL94 V-0 (all candidates comply)

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliance (all candidates compliant)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (all candidates match)
• HTSUS Code: 8536.69.4040 (all candidates match)

The three substitute parts (1753657, 1758128, 1755613) satisfy these criteria with the following distinctions: part 1758128 provides exact pitch matching (5.08mm) with 2-side shroud configuration; parts 1753657 and 1755613 operate at 5.00mm pitch with 2-side and 4-side shroud configurations respectively.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 1758128 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV Series)

Part 1758128 represents the closest functional equivalent to EM257513VO. This substitute maintains identical pitch spacing (0.200" / 5.08mm), identical shroud configuration (2-side), and identical position count (13). Both parts are Active status products with current inventory availability (989 units in stock). The component meets all UL voltage and flammability requirements, maintains RoHS3 compliance, and carries matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The primary electrical difference is the UL current rating (12 A versus 16 A on the original), which represents a design parameter variation between manufacturers rather than a compatibility limitation. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the 12 A UL current rating satisfies circuit requirements.

Part 1753657 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV Series)

Part 1753657 operates at 5.00mm pitch spacing with 2-side shroud configuration. The 0.003" (0.08mm) pitch variance falls within standard manufacturing tolerance for 5mm-class terminal block headers and presents no functional incompatibility for through-hole PCB mounting applications. This part maintains Active product status with 1080 units in inventory. Electrical ratings (12 A UL, 300 V UL) and compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS3) align with substitution requirements. Selection of this part requires verification that the minor pitch tolerance does not conflict with specific PCB layout constraints.

Part 1755613 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBVA Series)

Part 1755613 differs from EM257513VO in shroud configuration (4-side versus 2-side). This represents a mechanical variation that provides enhanced EMI shielding and mechanical protection. The part maintains 5.00mm pitch spacing, 13-position count, vertical orientation, and solder termination. Active product status with 1147 units in inventory, combined with matching electrical ratings (12 A UL, 300 V UL) and compliance certifications, qualifies this part as a functional substitute. The 4-side shroud configuration may require PCB layout adjustment to accommodate increased lateral dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1758128 be used as a direct replacement for EM257513VO without PCB modification?

A: Part 1758128 maintains identical pitch spacing (5.08mm) and shroud configuration (2-side), enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility. No layout modification is required. The 12 A UL current rating must be verified against circuit requirements; if the application requires 16 A capacity, this substitute is not appropriate.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.003" pitch difference between EM257513VO (5.08mm) and parts 1753657/1755613 (5.00mm)?

A: The 0.003" variance represents approximately 0.06% tolerance deviation and falls within standard manufacturing specifications for 5mm-class terminal blocks. For through-hole PCB applications with standard 0.040" (1.016mm) pad diameters, this tolerance does not create functional incompatibility. However, applications with tightly constrained PCB layouts or high-density interconnect requirements should verify specific footprint compatibility.

Q: Are the Phoenix Contact substitutes electrically compatible with the Eaton EM257513VO in UL-regulated applications?

A: All three Phoenix Contact substitutes (1753657, 1758128, 1755613) meet or exceed the UL voltage requirement (300 V). The current rating difference (12 A versus 16 A) represents a design parameter that must be evaluated against specific circuit requirements. Both manufacturers' parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and RoHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent electrical performance in UL-regulated applications.

Q: What is the functional difference between the 2-side shroud (parts 1753657, 1758128) and 4-side shroud (part 1755613) configurations?

A: The 2-side shroud provides lateral protection and wire entry guidance on two opposing sides. The 4-side shroud extends protection to all four sides, offering enhanced EMI shielding and mechanical robustness. Both configurations maintain identical electrical performance and current/voltage ratings. Selection depends on application requirements for electromagnetic interference mitigation and mechanical protection.

Q: Can EM257513VO be substituted with part 1755613 if the PCB layout accommodates the 4-side shroud dimensions?

A: Yes. Part 1755613 maintains the required 13-position count, vertical orientation, solder termination, and electrical ratings (12 A UL, 300 V UL). The 4-side shroud configuration requires verification that PCB layout and connector mating clearances accommodate the increased lateral dimensions. Once layout compatibility is confirmed, this part functions as a valid substitute with the added benefit of enhanced EMI shielding.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant and suitable for regulated industries?

A: All three substitute parts (1753657, 1758128, 1755613) carry RoHS3 compliance certification and match the original part's ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. All parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. These certifications qualify all substitutes for use in regulated industrial applications where the original EM257513VO is specified.
